Such an Honor ~

On Saturday, April 14, 2018 the Collinsville Historic Preservation Commission was awarded the Historic Preservation Recognition Award by the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution for excellent volunteer work in Historic Preservation regarding the historic D.D. Collins House.
